First Grow Pics - Update: Harvested - Drying?
    #14036264 - 02/27/11 02:15 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hey,

Just thought I'd share a couple of pics of my first grow with you all. They aren't ready for picking yet, but coming along nicely!







I used the Ecuadorian grow kit from wholecelium as I had no real knowledge or experience at the time. However, after reading lots of useful information here at the shroomery have decided to move on to a PF Tek and inoculated my first 4 jars yesterday :smile:

Thanks for all the valuable advice and opinions,

J

Great first grow!  Happy to see you went with a method other than cakes, it turned out really well for you it looks like.

Always looking for interesting active prints (especially Gymnopilus spp. and sclerotia producers) and cacti and poppy seeds.

The pins on my cakes from my first grow came out WAY smaller than that. Maybe i just need more room/wetness/humidity :shrug:

Gotta love the silly bugger on the right that is hiding down the side! :tongue2:

@Oregon, think it was just beginners luck for me! Either that or the mycelium in the kit has good genetics!

I like the ones that are growing off of the plastic.

Update:

Should I harvest these now - I can see the veils starting to break on a couple of them. Also should I harvest all of them and dunk or would it be better to harvest the mature shrooms first and leave the rest to mature before picking?

Now or soon. This evening maybe. Might as well pick everything. Leave any pins, that's your second flush.

Thanks guys, just harvested them, came in at 161g altogether. Just filled up the tub with water for round 2!







I've made a desiccant chamber for them, but don't have a fan. Do you think they'll be alright just laid out on paper towels for a few days before I put them in the chamber?

No, i suggest you to dry them in an oven at 120F.
Once i used desiccant for drying, i received heavy stomace pain, because they rot while drying.

You sure? I'm pretty sure I've read oven drying reduces potency?

Don't use an oven. You're right its too risky. Also a desiccant chamber is only good for the final touches in the drying process.

Go buy a fan. They're cheap and its all you'll need.

A human race with more highly developed spiritual capacities, with expanded consciousness of the depth and the incomprehensible wonder of being, would also have greater understanding of and better consideration for the biological and material foundation of life on this earth, Above all, for Western people with their hypertrophied rationality, the development and expansion of a direct, emotional experience of reality, unobstructed by words and concepts, would be of evolutionary significance.

Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.

To fall in hell or soar angelic,
You need a pinch of psychedelic.

No, definitely not.
You can dry them in an oven with nearly no potency loss.
Just dont go over 200F and the shrooms will be fine.
Please can a experienced "TC" say something to that.

I did go to buy a fan from 2 of my local supermarkets and a hardware store after work today but nowhere sold them. Unfortunately everywhere is shut now so I'm stuck really!

Okay, im a noob, but in this case you could trust me.
Store them in the fridge until you use them (max. a week), or dry them in your oven!!!!!!
If the drying process last longer then tree day's i would not even eat them for money.

Fair enough man, think I'll put them in the fridge in a paper bag for tonight and look for a fan after work tomorrow. I'm sure you're right about eating them after 3 days, probably gonna be rotten

I got my first mushroom drying right now under a fan and it already has lost its "wet" texture in a couple hours
